After Action Report
The Knicks fended off the Trail Blazers 119-110. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
